Where in Michigan are you?

Good to know. Thanks!

So im making a starter. Does it matter what kind of extract I use. Im making a AG wheat beer and all i have for extract is extra light. SHould I go pick up some wheat DME so I dont mess with the yeasts "memory"

Just thought I would say again how much I like New Holland... Walked to the Pub and had a glass of Imperial hatter and Dragons milk... Amazing

Spiced hard cider... it wont be ready in October but It will be very tasty once its done. Other than that though just brew what you enjoy drinking. Im an IPA year round kind of guy.

Silva just pulled that out of his @ss. Its not a comeback its just luck.

I think if anyone has a chance against Silva its Sonnen. I got to watch Silva fight in UFC 90 and It was horrible. Hes talented but I dont think he deserves to be champion. The UFC actually got me into Brazilian Jujitsu. Ive been competing for a couple years now. Its a great sport and I...

Well I just bought all my supplies so Im going to grab a pack of oberon and step up the yeast count as you guys suggested. If I can harvest and wash enough I plan on keeping this yeast as my go too. Just beacuse I love Bells so much :-)

Anyone a UFC fan? Whats everyones thoughts on the fights tonight?

Is it possible to do this without stepping it up. Has anyone else tried this? Would that put too much stress on the yeast? How would Oberon Yeast react to this?

That sounds like a good plan to me... now when you say flame I assume you mean sanatize... I have a spray bottle of star san I use very liberaly when im doing anything. But If you really do mean flame I could always use a new flamethrower :rockin:

So I'm going to give all grain a try this comming week but ive been researching and asking a bunch of questions so im confident I have a handle on that process. Trying to make an Oberon clone. My question is im going to try to harvest yeast from bells oberon and was wondering what the...

Cider, Cyser, Mead, Melomel's, Hard Lemonade... The good thing about homebrewing is the possibilities are endless. I also agree with Homercidal... If she doenst like beer... make an IPA or even a double IPA and enjoy it all to yourself.

Brewday has come and gone.... The Yeast was already activated when I got it so that was a little setback but I still pitched it anyways and its bubbling away so I assume no issues. My OG was 1.061 which was spot on... guess Ive finally figured this Partial mash on the stove top process. Tastes...

Your Freezer will actually do less work maintaining above freezing temperatures. Speaking thermally much more work/power is excerted by the compressor the lower the temperatures go. to go from say 60 degrees F to 50 degrees F is much easier for the freezer than to go from say 35 degrees F...

Well mines in the mail as of today. So I guess Ill keep everyone posted on it.

Oh and I grabbed the Partial mash with DME. Looking forward to a Cascadian dark ale. Ive only had it once before but I really enjoyed it. So any thoughts from anyone?

Just ordered the Northwest Cascadian Dark Ale with the Wyeast smack pack. Anyone have any brewday notes from brewing this they would want to share?

I drive through buffalo all the time driving between West Michigan and Central NY. Let us all know when your up and running and Ill swing by.

So I had to deviate just a little from edworts origional recipie. I couldnt find dextrose and didnt dare use regular table sugar so I used Honey instead. My question is has anyone used honey before and how much longer did it take to ferment down to your FG? Original was 5 gal apple juice...
